chapter 22Two weeks flew by in a blur. Nothing out of the ordinary really happened during that time.Old lady Fei kept her eyes on Tanya. She didysay it out but she was worried when she didn't notice Tanya showing any signs of being pregnant. But Tanya wouldn't make any conversation, and Fei got a bit stressed. She even got cross because she didn't seem to be bothered about it. "Grandma trust me, it'll happen." Was what she'd always say.That morning Tanya woke up in a very good mood. She didn't know why but she felt really happy, like something good was coming to her. She whistled as she climbed down from bed, dressed herself up, and looked at herself in the mirror. "Alright, you're lookin' fine today." She said. She went to the kitchen to have her breakfast. She was still whistling as she ate."Someone is in a good mood today" old lady Fei said as she stepped out. She stopped whistling immediately and stared at her. "Are you feeling okay today? Are you pregnant?"Tanya stopped eati

chapter 24"I'm telling you, he has a fiancee. She came in....The receptionist was telling another worker when she noticed Tanya walking out."...that's her. She's the one coming now." She turned to speak to Tanya but she walked past her in a daze. She looked liked she had seen a ghost and was running from it "What's with her? Just a while ago she was so arrogant and pompous now, she looks like she just saw a ghost...She paused to think. Her eyes widened in realisation and she began to laugh hysterically. She laughed so hard she couldn't stop. She began to hyperventilate and her legs buckled underneath her and she fell to the ground with her head spinning. "Fiancee my foot!" She spat"What's so funny?" Her colleague asked."Forget what I was saying dear." The receptionist said standing up. "She's just like us. Wishing the handsome CEO would notice us and make us his girlfriend or wife or just give us a little attention." She said giggling. "I guess she came to shoot her shot and go

chapter 26Dalia sat in the bar, drowning her sorrows with alcohol when she felt someone tap her on the shoulder. Dalia turned around and saw a man she had never seen before. "hi love! Can I buy you a drink?" Dalia turned down the guy's offer to buy her a drink. She felt his eyes on her, lingering on her body and she tried to subtly keep her back to him. She felt his hand brush against her back and he leaned in close to her ear."Buy you a drink?" He whispered in her ear, his voice low and husky.Dalia turned away from him, her cheeks hot. "No, thank you.""Just one drink," he said, still whispering. "You don't want to go home early and leave me all alone, do you?" He grasped her arm."That's not why I'm here," Dalia tried to free herself but he held her arm tightly. "I know you want me," he said, his voice still husky. "I can see that you want me just as much as I want you."Dalia froze. . She knew she should walk away. She should turn away, scream for help, but she couldn't."Ju

chapter 28The small, dark, cramped room seemed to close in on the men as they stood with their backs against the walls. All of them were disheveled, their clothes stained with dirt, sweat, and blood. Even in the dimly lit room, it was apparent that one of them had lost a hand, while another sported a bandage, blood seeping through it and staining his face. But the leader of the gang, though clearly in charge, was not armed; he had nothing to protect himself with. "The mission failed, ma'am," he said, with a tone of resignation.She roared with rage, her voice echoing across the barren field. "You bunch of stupid buffoons!" She yelled, throwing her cap at his filthy face and he flinched under the force of her outburst. Gritting her teeth and clenching her fists, she desperately fought to restrain her anger. "He was one man! Just ONE man, and there's SIX of you. How could you possibly NOT be able to take him out? Do you want to die too?""We shot him and I am absolutely certain of it

chapter 30He sat down after greeting his granddad."Oh! Mason's aunt made fun of him by saying, "The runaway's kid is home.""Stop talking, Shila. The return of your brother's son should make you glad. Why must you say anything like that on his first day of visiting? The elderly master chastised her."Why wouldn't I, Dad? Even if several of your grandsons have lived with you for years, you disregard them and give everything to a complete stranger. Is this how you want to treat us? Shila lamented vehemently."Yes, it is just. I don't have any prejudice against you people. Each of you is a member of this family. What have you and your sons accomplished throughout your many years of living with me? They can only gamble and go out to clubs. During their time at school, they failed every exam. They constantly leave you with a mess to clean up. How will they inherit the family business if they adopt this attitude?""But dad, I've been running the business under your supervision for a while
